New DAX User: Defining a new measure by removing date filter, leads to syntax error

[Flichaster]

NewtoDax =

VAR NEW_OverallStartDate = [NEW_OverallStartDate]

VAR StartDate =

CALCULATE(

    MIN('Everything Clarity, Project without totals'[Start Date]),

    REMOVEFILTERS('Start Date')

)

I really dont understand where my mistake it. I receive the following error:

Thanks

Add 'RETURN StartDate' on the end.

Add 'RETURN StartDate' on the end.

KNP,

Feels like DAX is a mix of most progamming tool. Similiar to return in
R-studio/Python. Thanks much. This helped lots.

The alternative to this would be...

Replace 'VAR StartDate = ' with 'RETURN'

I prefer the VAR option for readability though.

Ahh Got it. Totally agree with you on that. Thanks Again.

@Flichaster Try:

NewtoDax =
VAR NEW_OverallStartDate = [NEW_OverallStartDate]
VAR StartDate =
CALCULATE(
    MIN('Everything Clarity, Project without totals'[Start Date]),
    REMOVEFILTERS('Everything Clarity, Project without totals'[Start Date])
)

@Greg_Deckler 

I still get the same error.

My start date follows a Date Hierarchy, My initial Picture with removefilters('StartDate') is a new table that does not follow Date Hierarchy
